EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the fearless spirit of Emily Wilding Davison, a courageous women's suffrage activist who made the ultimate sacrifice for her cause. In 1913, during the Epsom Derby, she threw herself under the King's horse Anmer in a bold act of protest that shocked the nation.
Emily Wilding Davison was a militant suffragette who fought tirelessly for women's rights and equality. Her actions at the Derby were a dramatic statement against the oppressive forces that denied women their basic freedoms.
This image from "The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published in 1935 immortalizes Davison's bravery and commitment to the suffrage movement. The intensity of her gaze and determination is palpable, even decades after her tragic death.
As we look back on this pivotal moment in history, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by trailblazers like Emily Wilding Davison who paved the way for future generations of women to have a voice and be heard. Her legacy lives on as an inspiration to all those who continue to fight for justice and equality.
